    It hurts to see people like these claiming to be educated. Government is hurting even the cocoa farmers whiles you support it. How do you motivate others to go into farming?
    Common sense has been deprived from you.

    Our politricians have gotten us on our knees. They are the ones who have set up trading companies to import tooth picks to aviation fuel. When a president's family imports rice, he makes a lot of noise and effectively kill ...

    OHK, are you not being stupid? Does the government of Ghana determine cocoa price on the world market? Why have you allowed politics to cloud your brain?

  • Vanchasse 1 month ago

    How is government hurting the cocoa farmers when market price is 2800 and I decided to pay my people 2500? You can blame the government over the spot sale that it chose over the forward sale. But even then, what did the NPP d ...

    In the abundance of everything, Ghanaians are still thirsty due to our self-centered Presidents. May God assist and direct John Mahama to reset that tyrant kingdom of Akuffo Addo.

    Do we have the same system of land ownership in Burkina Faso? Most of us feel land ownership in Ghana is a big factor affecting farming in Ghana., it doesn't encourages Commercial farming

    It’s so baffling why we should be buying tomatoes from Burkina, and onions from Niger. There are many areas in Ghana where these crops can be grown and distributed so readily. The Hweehwee areas near Nkawkaw is so rich in n ...

    Attempt by the government to persuade B. Faso authority to relax the policy is unnecessary and reflects leadership shortsightness. Late Honourable Baah Wiredu vowed to change this narrative. Sadly after his demise subsequent ...

    Mahama's NDC has become NATO (No Action, Talk Only). Ghanaians like talking and wasting time on trivial stuff. See how Burkina Faso has put Agriculture, Water, Animals, Fisheries into one single ministry. Cost-saving.
